Moana

Will I ever be able to watch Moana's granny dying without crying???

For info, I am an actual adult with a functional life and, generally, a good grip on my emotions!! Not usually a crier. Don't even cry at Comic Relief. I have a 6 year old so have seen Moana approximately 10,000 times and it still gets me!

If that makes you cry then don't watch Coco! I'm in bits every time I watch it 😢

GinUnicorn · 25/02/2023 19:10

I still can’t watch Encanto without being in floods at Dos Oruguitas. Can’t even listen to it without tears.

For me it’s Up

Nope, you are doomed to tears I'm afraid.

I just about cope with Moana but even just talking about Coco is impossible for me.

DaysofHoney · 25/02/2023 19:14

Moana gets me too. I cry just listening to the opening song on the soundtrack…

MollyMunster · 25/02/2023 19:14

Encanto here too, my stomach drops every time.

I don’t mind Moana so much - I like how the grandma is immediately reincarnated as a giant flatfish!

mbosnz · 25/02/2023 19:29

I'm not allowed to watch Coco or Encanto. Based on the fact that I'm a sobbing ball of snot watching Moana. . .

Pinkflipflop85 · 25/02/2023 19:31

Over the Xmas period my parents put Coco on for the kids. My dad sat watching it with them.

I, of course, had forgotten the storyline and still get so upset thinking about how much that film made my (usually stoic) dad cry that day. My nan, his mum, had died months earlier.

I don't think I'll ever be able to watch Coco again!

SkintyFia · 25/02/2023 19:43

Sorry but 'don't even cry at Comic Relief' made me laugh 😁

PennyRa · 25/02/2023 19:45

That just makes you an emotionally healthy person.

I will never be able to watch Bridge to Terabithia without crying

GrouchyKiwi · 25/02/2023 19:51

It's the "This is not who you are, you know who you are" bit that gets me every single time.

Soubriquet · 25/02/2023 19:52

No never but that’s what Disney is all about. You cry.

Watching Coco had me sobbing though

Spinxsta · 25/02/2023 19:54

What is this COCO? And how do I stop my DD ever finding out about it!

The good dinosaur had me sobbing too. Had my dh sobbing too

We both looked at each other and laugh sobbed

easyandbreezy · 25/02/2023 19:55

Omg! Coco😔😩

Soubriquet · 25/02/2023 19:55

Coco is about a boy in Mexico who wishes to play music but is forbidden by his family.

On the day of the dead, he travels to the world of his ancestors.

I won’t say any more but please do watch it. It’s a sob fest yes but it’s such a beautiful film too

Robostripes · 25/02/2023 20:19

Moana is my favourite Disney film, I love the music so much! It doesn’t make me cry but omg Coco, it was on on Christmas Day a few years ago, cue floods of tears, not very festive! And the Good Dinosaur too.

PipinwasAuntieMabelsdog · 25/02/2023 20:24

Jessie singing 'when somebody loved me' makes DH cry. I can't watch TS3 without tearing up, especially when Andy gives the gang to Bonnie Sad

megletthesecond · 25/02/2023 20:26

Coco is beautiful but Oh My God 😭🧡.

Kittypillar · 25/02/2023 20:28

Oh god Coco absolutely broke me, I had to hide in the kitchen and open the fridge door to sob into without my 4-year-old seeing 😭😂

Moana also sets me off on a bad day, and Luca makes me weepy every single time too...

I read somewhere that 'When She Loved Me' is an analogy for when your children grow up and don't want to spend time with you anymore... Ever since then, nope, instant tears, can't cope!

alpenguin · 25/02/2023 20:33

It’s not when moanas granny dies that does it for me, it’s when she reappears. Then again shiny sets me back as I have memories of lockdown with my baby who is now in school and not a baby anymore and I miss those days of just hugging watching the same film over and over

Suzi888 · 25/02/2023 20:33

The granny / stingray thing gets me too. I feel massive relief it’s not just me…

Moana is easily my favourite Disney film.

OddshoesOddsocks · 25/02/2023 20:35

All 3 of my dd’s have been obsessed with The Greatest Showman so we’ve watched it multiple times a day week for the last 5 years… I still can’t watch his wife’s face as he runs into the fire, it gets me EVERY time (and I don’t cry at comic relief either)

Vallmo47 · 25/02/2023 20:36

Awww I usually cry at sad things but the granny in Moana doesn’t get me because she’s SO happy to be one with the ocean, plus she gets to visit! In the little mermaid, it always gets me when Ariel says goodbye to her daddy King Triton at the end…. That’s a real tear jerker. His little girl is moving on. 😢😢
